STA Explorer Gadget Boy Goes Global has been a busy bee recently; just have a look at his travel blog, Random Projects, to see the full extent of his connected status.

In the first of three posts, Gadget Boy lets his camera do the talking, capturing some excellent jungle activity. The pictures he’s collated come from Cuyabeno National Park in Ecuador’s part of the Amazon Jungle:

“We went for the 5 day trip rather than the normal 4 days it seems that people do. Four days would be enough but the extra day we had just added to the relaxation. It was just the two of us and the guide on the last day so we got a really personal experience on the last trek. We could go slow and stop and look at everything. Not so much ran away either with only two pairs of clod hopping feet to scare them!”

Sadly however, there was a casualty. While taking a picture of a rather ‘fancy-dan’ caterpillar, Gadget Boy’s LX3 camera took a tumble and never recovered. See the photos that add up to its swan song here…
